Hello, my name is Mathéo Casa and I am a final year veterinary student. I am doing my final project on all the peculiarities of Spanish greyhounds. I am passionate about this breed and I want to improve the life of Spanish greyhounds through this work and I want to know more about the health of this breed. I need you to fill out a survey to help me get information. Please, if you have more than one Spanish greyhound, fill out a survey per dog. Once my work is finished, it will be published through Scooby’s social networks so you can see how special Spanish greyhounds are!! Thank you very much !!! Matheo Casa

PACMA – Spanish political party fighting for the rights of Spain’s animals
This is a weblink to introduce the new team at PACMA, leading the fight to protect Spain’s abused animals.This is a weblink to an article about the Government of Castilla-La Mancha wanting to promote the violence and cruelty of hunting among young people and women.
Also in March 2022 PACMA urged the Junta de Andalucía to stop promoting, protecting and shielding hunting in the community. We have sent a letter to the Governing Council of the Junta de Andalucía to stop their efforts to promote this cruel and violent activity. Weblink to this article.
This is the translation of a PACMA article about dog-fighting in Spain. Galgos are sometimes bred as bait dogs to be used in this cruel and barbaric activity.

Protectora Scooby – donations needed for big vet fees and more please
Scooby needs some help
In Scooby we have never hesitate to help all the animals we could, our friends from Andalucia, Extremadura, Murcia, Castile la Mancha desperately asked us for help for the galgos and podencos, hunting dogs and some mestiz os, all this knowing that from our land we were getting enormous amounts of animals but we could not turn our back on them and now we find that we have about 500 between galgos and podencos, 500 animals that need to eat, need to be cleaned and need treatments see Terinaries, almost 80% of the clinic and hospital work they are for our own animals, castrate them, vaccinate them, various operations, blood tests.
We have had to hire more staff and now we need you, we need to pay the workers, our thought providers, vaccines, bisturics, etc.
We need people who want to organize events to raise funds. At Scooby we have always hesitated to ask for little and now we need it. If you can help us, they will thank you. Plus donations to Scooby are indestructible.
If you want to help us continue saving and changing lives, you can do so in the following ways:

Galgos Rescue Almeria – no end to the abandonment
Sandy Galgoslover of Galgos Rescue Almeria writes.‘Every year, thousands of animals worldwide are dumped and left to their own devices. Unfortunately, only a small part of these animals find happiness and a new future. That’s why support is so important for those who desperately need help to get a different and better life.
2021 was a year with ups and downs, with laughter and tears, with many emotions and also with disappointments. A year with not only happy stories, but also sad stories of dogs that haven’t been able to enjoy their new life for long and have passed away much too young. Gitano, Felix, Rumba you’re gone but not forgotten. Also a year of deception, GRA was scammed by a company that sells storage containers. It hurts to lose money meant to improve the welfare of the animals.
Thanks to help and support we managed to make 143 dogs and owners happy.

Galga and babies in Southern Spain – the Hunter will kill them!
I won’t write what I wish to befall this hunter! Why did he allow the bitch to become pregnant knowing he wouldn’t keep the babies? What crass mentality!‘This hunter is going to kill these babies! The female gave birth 2 days ago and he will keep for just a month or he will kill them all. They are more than 8 puppies, mum is hiding the puppies because they killed all previous litters’
An appeal has gone out on facebook, let’s hope there is a shelter with room for them, even though they are all bursting at the seams.

Spain is still in the dark ages – no help for the hunting dogs – Government lies!
From Yo Galgo.Yeah!! The Government approves the processing of the Animal Welfare Law that includes hunting and working dogs, which will be treated like any other dog. Moreover, this law, approved a week ago in the Council of Ministers, will not only protect pets but all vertebrates as a whole. Wow!! Among other things, we celebrate that: Dog owners will have to become breeders and register as such if they want to breed animals. Whoever has five specimens must be registered as a zoological nucleus. Working dogs will have to meet conditions from the point of view of occupational risk prevention; they will not carry out professional activities until they are 18 months of age. All dogs must be registered as such in the Registry of Companion Animals. Hunting dogs that are kept or have access to the exterior of the houses and may have uncontrolled contact with others must be sterilized. As for giving away or selling a hunting dog to people not registered in the Breeders’ Registry, the dog must be spayed or with the commitment of its sterilization.
ONLY this is the real truth!

Hunting has ended in Spain for this season – abandoned hounds everywhere, shelters overrun
From Yolanda Jimenez Gordo‘To you hunters that love your animals so much. Can you all really sleep peacefully?? They are still waiting for you, in the same place as you abandoned them, they are passing cold, hungry and desperate for not finding the miserable one who abandoned them. I just wish you suffer in life all the suffering you are going through them multiplied by ten, karma exists and you will pay for it.
This is what happens when hunting work tools don’t work, they are abandoned, mistreated, killed.’
This weblink takes you to the story of the rescue of 119 dogs from a finca in Torrelaguna. Warning, upsetting pictures.
